What shoes are you wearing today?

@helenS oh wow, is it not hot there?

@Tubbygraham About 30 ℃ (85 ℉).

@helenS Socks'n'sandals is a punishable offence! 🤣

@ArtieKat You should spend a couple of days in Germany 🤭

@helenS I'd like that - but we're [i]persona non grata[/i] - and quite rightly so!

@ArtieKat Are you? In Germany? And why?

@helenS Because of the Delta variant. It's growing hugely in the UK - although hospitalisations are not critical and deaths are well down.

@ArtieKat I understood that most people in the UK have got their vaccines already?

@helenS They have just started this week to vaccinate 18-24 year olds. It will be nearly a month before the majority have at least one jab.
